USB comparison Sablon vs Lush vs Curious vs Vovox

I use the Sablon USB Reserva Elite cable, powered version, between the fidata server and Mola Mola Makua pre/dac. A friend/customer just brought around a USB cable from Curious and Lush to compare with the Sablon, both of which have had good reviews. I have also compared the Sablon USB to the Vovox Textura USB in the past. Sablon is just plain better in every respect compared to the other cables, we both agreed on that. He now wants one. Please PM me if you would like to try a Sablon cable at home for yourself.

@littlecx, I haven’t tried, but what I can say is that it would be difficult to beat the Sablon in my opinion. There has been lots of positive customer feedback on Sablon cables, including their USB, in the What’s Best Forum, under the title “Sablon affordable state of the art”. Would be worth checking out.

@erndog , the Elite version ( best) is $650 (£485) Signal only version 800mm L, $750 (£560) for twin cable power plus signal version 1.2m L, including shipping. Most people need the powered version, depends on the dac. Some exceptions are dacs by Lampizator, Nagra, T&A. What dac do you have? The extra length of the powered version is so that the noise is better dissipated on the power leg. Longer versions of both can be quoted for if you wish.
